Sitka herring seiners in line for huge haul

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has issued a revised quota for this spring's Sitka Sound sac roe herring fishery — 28,829 tons.

That's slightly lower than the preliminary forecast announced back in December.

But dang, it's still a gargantuan number.

A version of wanton waste.

Killing off herring just for the eggs is barbaric and not very friendly to the critters in the sea that depend on the herring as a food source.
